Our survey says...

As you may or may not know, after 4 years of being off-the-air, the quiz show Family Fortunes (the UK version of Family Feud) is returning to ITV1 later this year, with Vernon Kay as presenter. The show will be produced by UK format owner talkbackTHAMES. If it is true that it is been brought back "by public demand", then this is a very rare case of the ITV network listening to its viewers.

This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best game show ever, and it's mainly because of the ridiculous answers that the contestants sometimes gives out, many of which became true gems.

To celebrate the return of this great game-show, here are some of the best silly answers:
